South Pacific 2005 > The Eclipse Cruise > The Marquesas

Pometia pinnata fruit, Pacific Lychee or Tava. The Marquesans call this Kava but it isn't what the Fijians call Kava, it's a fruit which is a lot like a lychee. We were served these on the beach at Taipivai, along with the usual overabundant species used to greet cruise ship passengers.
